Long-term environmental tolerance of the non-indigenous Pacific oyster to expected contemporary climate change conditions
The current global redistribution of biota is often attributed to two main drivers: contemporary climate change (CCC) and non-indigenous species (NIS). Despite evidence of synergetic effects, however, studies assessing long-term effects of CCC conditions on NIS fitness remain rare. We examined the i...
